Xia Yuxin said that this is the case, did the down-and-out poor aristocrats go to the daughter of the rich nouveau riche, the nobles take the money, the nouveau riche gets the title, the so-called class complementarity, this kind of plot is also very common in the movie, I didn't expect to meet a real person today.

"Tell me about this Baron Forrester."

The little brother was embarrassed, "We really can't just disclose customer information." ”

Xia Yu handed over a hundred dollars expressionlessly, and the little brother looked around, and quickly put the money in his hand.

"This Baron Forrester is just a small nobleman in England, but he is still very good at running to the United States, even in the twenty-first century, those people are very identical with the status of nobility."

"The guys?"

“old money。”

Xia Yu nodded, indicating understanding.

"This Baron Forrester took the inheritance of the class and went to the Midwest to invest, it was a shit luck, he dug a gold mine and two oil fields, he seemed to know what was buried in the ground, and he bought land and bought a quasi, in the sixties and seventies of the last century, he could be said to be a man of the hour.

Later, with the rise of the Internet era, they gradually faded into the limelight of the real industry, but they are still very rich, it is said that his assets can be ranked within the top 100 in the United States, but their old money is very low-key, and they do not show much wealth on weekdays, except for operating some fund industries, mainly engaged in collections.

Baron Forrester was interested in antiques and antiquities, and was a regular at Newman's auction house, and his daughter was often entrusted by him to invest. The little brother said, with a look of envy.

"Hehe, I see, thanks buddy." Xia Yu said and handed over another hundred dollars.

The little brother took the banknote and smiled flatteringly, "You are really a generous brother, don't look at those old money, one by one is richer than the other, you are very stingy with your shots, and you won't even give more tips, for the sake of 'Franklin', for your sake, if you are playing Miss Catherine's idea, I think you should save it." ”

Xia Yu was a little funny, "What do you say?" Is that woman a Lala? ”

"She's dangerous, I've heard rumors of a man who went with her to her castle and never ......reappeared."

In the afternoon, Xia Yu came to the auction house, he came to handle the handover procedures, as the owner of the lot, at the end of the formal transaction to sign an agreement.

Waiting here with him was an old lady who looked to be eighty or ninety years old, with wrinkled skin and dull eyes, which looked a little oozing.

Xia Yu found a place to sit down, and after a while, Catherine walked in under the escort of two bodyguards.

She came to the old woman first.

"Is that Miss Virginia, please? I am Catherine, and I am honored to take over this precious collection from you. ”

The old woman scribbled her name from the auction house clerk, handed over an antique box to the clerk, and left without any regret.

As the auction house clerk handed the box to Catherine, the blonde woman took a step back, as if it contained a time bomb, and motioned for a bodyguard to take the box.

Then she walked towards Xia Yu again.

Xia Yu's gaze circled between Catherine and the box, and finally fell on Catherine.

I have to say that this girl is indeed beautiful, especially the temperament left by that exquisite life, like a beautiful oil painting.

"Hello, is it Mr. Xia? I didn't expect this gem to really come from the Far East, I thought it was another gimmick made by the auction house, so Mr. Xia, did you really find this gem from an ancient altar? ”

Xia Yu smiled slightly, this story of the origin of the gem is portable and he has a share of the credit, strictly speaking, it is not a lie, this thing is indeed related to an ancient god.

"Yes, it's true." Xia Yu handed over the box containing the gems.

The woman carefully placed the gem in front of her eyes, looking at the red liquid shaking inside, and was distracted.

"Can I ask Mr. Xia how he found this gem?"

"Hehe, I just picked it up by accident."

The woman nodded noncommittally: "Then you are really lucky." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Xia Yu shrugged his shoulders, and his eyes couldn't help but aim at the antique box.

This thing was so close to him that he really couldn't help but want to do it directly.

The woman also noticed a hint of clues, "Speaking of which, I can't help but notice that you are also interested in this book?" ”

Xia Yu did not hide it: "Yes, I am a big fan of Lovecraft, I am very interested in his works, he is a very imaginative writer." ”

Catherine snorted suddenly, "I don't think he has any imagination, it's better to say that he is more sensitive." ”

Xia Yu glanced at her strangely, and Catherine said faintly: "In Lovecraft's works, such a theory was put forward, those sensitive artists, poets, singers, painters, can contact or sense many unknown things through dreams and illusions, those ancient existences, those ancient monsters, those indescribable evil things, and it is because of this that they can create unimaginable works of art, and some can bring people terrifying nightmares. Some are as peculiar as if they don't belong to this world.

So when I read his books, I sometimes think, maybe Lovecraft is one of those people who saw some fragment of a dream or a vision, and then recorded it, so that he could write these jaw-dropping works.

Xia Yu was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Interesting theory, it sounds very reasonable." ”

Catherine put the gem back in the box, and the staff took out the agreement and handed it to the two of them.

The two signed the agreement, even if the transaction was officially completed, looking at the extra string of numbers in the account, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Goodbye, beautiful lady, oh yes, I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to visit you in the future, I'm very interested in your theory."

Catherine was a little surprised by the obvious abruptness of the question, but she still nodded: "Of course, Forrester Castle is always welcome." ”

And the castle? This Baron Forrester is really pretending to be in place. Seeing Catherine leave, Xia Yu couldn't help but be interested.

When she returned to the hotel room, Katrana had already rented the car that Xia Yu wanted, not only that, but she also specially prepared an outfit for the upcoming operation.

"When are we going to do it?"

"Without further ado, let's do it tonight."
